Day 149

Chocolate Sheet Cake

Yummy! It's the Pioneer Woman's recipe

I made this cake this morning after seeing the recipe online.Best Chocolate Sheet Cake EverI knew our friends the Bantells would be coming over for coffee this afternoon. When they showed up, Mer brought a beautiful fancy covered bowl of strawberries which turned out to go perfectly with the cake. I love when things come together with no planning!

Tomorrow our friends the Gores will be coming over to visit so lucky me, we have lots of cake left. I used dark dutch cocoa so my cake and frosting turned out darker than the Pioneer Lady's cake, but it so so good. Next I hope to try a coconut cream cake from one of my favorite dessert cookbooks. Tonight's dinner was angel hair spaghetti with some frozen spaghetti sauce that I made last summer from fresh tomatoes. It was a bit watery but had good flavor. Especially with lots of Parmesan cheese on top.
